Mas-Collel is very popular. It is very math-heavy. Every idea and concept is done pretty rigorously and it pretty well covers everything. The book is a very slow read and is sometimes uneven. Very detailed in some sections and not as good in others. That said, in my experience, it is the graduate microeconomics bible. If you have a question, your answer is somewhere in there.

There is also

Felix Muñoz-Garcia: advanced microeconomic theory (this comes with a book of solved practice questions)

and

Silberberg: The structure of economics (old but written so well where much the needed math is explained along with the economics)

For consumer choice - no firm theory - the book by

Deaton and Muellbauer: Economics and consumer behavior

is also a really nice book.
